The romance of Alpine travel is captured in Roger Broder’s scenic “Chamonix-Martigny.” Its art-deco style typifies Broder’s work as a painter of travel posters. Spectacular scenery is awash in bold, golden graphics that will charm both travelers and vintage art collectors.

In his job promoting the Paris-Lyons-Mediterranean Railway, graphic artist Roger Broders (1883 – 1953), was pivotal to poster art’s initial wave in popularity. Defining vintage travel poster art of the 1920’s and early 1930’s, his distinctive, exuberant Art Deco style goes along with his ability to evoke the romance and nostalgia of travel. The contemporary resurgence in his work’s popularity is part of the vintage poster art boom, with his original works fetching over $5,000.

This picture evokes an age of travel, adventure and romance. I have had it framed in black and the colours look so vibrant against it. You can almost imagine the train to start moving. It is on the wall over the fireplace and is the focal point of the room. I am absolutely thrilled with this poster and I would thoroughly recommend it to other buyers.
